NWA TNA Dark Match, Xplosion, & Impact Spoilers (9/28 - Orlando FL)

TNA Wrestling Impact show to air Friday October 1st
Talking to some Orlando residents they said the crowd was bigger due to Russ Rollins of Real Radio 104.1 Monsters of the Midway morning talk show appearing on the show as well as school being off due to the hurricane. NWA Wrestling legend Harley Race sat behind the TNA commentary table. Jimmy Hart hyped he would be coming out of retirement to manage Johnny Fairplay on October 9th in downtown Orlando. Apparently Fairplay and Hart will be wrestling hotdog, hamburger (give me a break) and plus someone named ! Savannah who is from the Monster‘s radio show. Guess you have to listen to their show or live in Orlando to know what the heck was going on. Also in the crowd were kids dressed like Raven and Jeff Hardy.
Match One was not taped for TV: Poison (One Dirty Bitch, a Nashville/Indiana wrestler) defeated Traci Brooks (w/Michael Shane). This is the first ladies match TNA has done in Orlando and they picked two good lady workers for it. The crowd was hot for this match that saw Shane interfere to help out Brooks several times but it backfired the last time as Poison hit a Davey Boy powerslam for the win.
Impact matches began here with a recap of last week’s show followed by a preview of today’s matches.
Match Two: NWA World Heavyweight champion Jeff Jarrett defeated Brian “the Blade” Gamble. Like his other matches on Impact, Jarrett dominated his opponent hitting the stroke for the victory. Jarrett took the mic, sat in a chair he placed on the broadcast table and demanded to know who his Victory Road opponent would be. During the commercial he taunted “the Monster Mafia fanbase.” Once we came back from the TV break Vince Russo came to address Jarrett in the ring claiming he spoke to “the outsiders” and said the real talent is here in TNA. Next week Raven, Abyss, Monty Brown and Jeff Hardy would be in a tournament and the winner will face Jarrett at Victory Road. Jarrett claimed he would get “outsiders” in TNA one way or another. After Jarrett left, AJ Styles came to the ring to confront Russo about wanting a shot at X champion Petey Williams. Russo said AJ would be part of a six way match and the winner would face Williams at Victory Road. Team Canada (minus Johnny Devine get well soon my friend) came out to demand a World Tag Team title match having beaten the former champs Skipper and Harris but they jumped Styles and Russo instead. 3 Live Kru made the save for AJ.
A teaser video of Raven played as the show came back to air.
Match Three: Raven defeated Scotty Hotshot (didn’t hear the name TNA gave him but he is local Florida worker.) Raven had Die Monty Brown on his chest. It was over before it started as Raven hit his version of the DDT to win.
Shane Douglas stood by a door that the TNA championship committee was meeting behind. Larry Zbyszko talked about Dusty Rhodes and then walked away.
A Jeff Hardy vignette played before return for the next match.
Match Four: Abyss defeated Luther “Bodybag” Jackson. Jackson got in some offense but he fell to the Black Hole Slam.
Shane Douglas spoke to Harley Race about the situation between Vince Russo and Dusty Rhodes. Terry Funk was not in the building.
Match Five: Non title match, former NWA World Tag Team champions the Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens) defeated NWA World Tag Team champions James Storm & “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels Douglas wrestled despite having been stabbed in the thigh over the weekend in Nashville. Miscommunication between Daniels and Storm cost them the match. Daniels went for the BME but Storm had already picked up Stevens for a fireman’s carry. Daniels hit the mat hard as he missed the BME. From the floor, Douglas tripped up Storm which allowed Stevens to cover Daniels. Afterwa! rds Skipper and Harris joined their partners in the ring to argue.
Shane Douglas spoke to Dusty Rhodes who said there was a failure in communication between Russo and the championship committee. Mike Tenay got in the ring for a big announcement concerning Victory Road. The announcement was it would be a Victory Road weekend with Q & A, autograph sessions and the show would be held in (big shock) Orlando. Next week “Rowdy” Roddy Piper will be at Impact with an announcement concerning Victory Road.
Match Six: To determine Petey Williams’s opponent at Victory Road. AJ Styles defeated Alex Shelley, Kid Kash, Amazing Red, Frankie Kazarian and Chris Sabin. This would have been a promoter’s dream match in any other promotion. The crowd was hot from the bell to the pinfall. AJ took a beating for most of the match but tagged in Red who was also beat up by the heels. Red finally tagged out to everyone else who tried to get the pin on each other. In the end as the others fought on the floor Styles hit Shelley with the Styles Clash to move onto Victory Road.
In next week’s NWA World Heavyweight title mini-tournament Raven vs. Monty Brown and Abyss vs. Jeff Hardy. The TNA road crew setup the building to film TNA Xplosion which is seen on Sunshine Network. Not sure if this match was taped or not.
Match Seven: Real Radio’s Russ Rollins & Johnny B. Badd (yes THAT Johnny B. Badd) defeated Rod Steel and Bruce Steele. Mero, sorry Badd had short hair, no moustache and about 30 pounds of muscle since he left WWE and his ex-wife. The Rollins guy got pops no matter what he did in the ring and looked better in the ring then most radio DJ’s that preceded him in the ring. Rollins pinned Bruce Steele after hitting a 2nd rope Tornado DDT. Jeff Jarrett came to the ring to confront Rollins. Jarrett challenged Rollins to a fight right now!!! “The monster Mafia” popped big time for this and had Rollins’ back. Mero, sorry Badd grabbed the guitar and threatened Jarrett but hit Rollins instead. Jarrett and Badd left the ring together as Dusty Rhodes came out to aide Rollins. Most of! “the Monster Mafia” exited the building after the match.
Jeremy Borash passed the mic off to Tim Welch who did the ring duties for Xplosion. There was over a 20 minute delay due to technical duties. The crowd got on Welch but he was not to blame. The exact same vignette that opened Impact was played to open Xplosion.
Match Eight: Team Canada (Petey Williams & Bobby Roode w/ Scott D’Amore) defeated Shark Boy & D-Ray 3000. It was a good match but Shark Boy fell to the Canadian Destroyer.
The same Jeff Hardy sung vignette from Impact played.
Match Nine: Mikey Batts & “Mr. 630”Jerrelle Clark defeated David Young & Lex Lovett vs. Batts and Clark are currently the NWA FL tag Team champions and showed their chemistry to the appreciative crowd. Clark hit the 630 splash on Lovett for the win.
Mike Tenay took to the ring with special guest Dusty Rhodes to address his issues with Vince Russo and the NWA championship committee.
Repeat of the Raven vignette from Impact.
Match Ten: “Alpha Male” Monty Brown defeated Ryan O’Reilly with the Pounce. Don Harris stood over my shoulder during this match making sure I said good things about TNA Wrestling. Also best wishes to Jerry Lynn who is recovering from shoulder surgery.
Match Eleven: 3 Live Kru defeated Erick Stevens, Kid Romeo and Masao Inoue. This was Stevens’ debut in TNA and 3LK made sure he remembered it. Romeo was pinned by BG James after a triple team maneuver. After the match BG took the mic proclaiming 3LK is here to stay and they want gold around their waists.
Match Twelve: Sonny Siaki defeated Roderick Strong. During the bout Siaki’s trunks ripped and his behind was exposed to the excited ladies of Orlando. Siaki won the match with a tombstone piledriver.
Match Thirteen: “Wildcat” Chris Harris defeated Michael Shane (w/Traci Brooks). Good match to end the show. Harris hit the catatonic to get the win but Frankie Kazarian ran in to beat down Harris after the bell which prompted James Storm to come to the ring. After the cameras stopped rolling AMW fought all over the building with Kazarian and Shane.
